It's rare to see Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart putting on a public display of affection – even before the cheating scandal which recently engulfed them.

But under the cover of bizarre transparent mask, the Twilight pair let down their guard and were spotted holding hands at a Halloween party on Wednesday night.

In an apparent sign they are growing closer following Kristen's 'indiscretion' with married director Rupert Sanders this summer, the couple were caught in a tactile moment while attending a bash at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery.

It was a fleeting glimpse of affection, however, as the pair spent most of the night avoiding being photographed together, with the couple stepping apart whenever a camera was in sight.

As for their Halloween costumes, R-Patz and Stewart didn't exactly pull out all the stops.

True to form, they made understated appearances in casual clothing – with only their masks serving as an attempt to dress up.

Stewart, 22, wore wearing leggings and a green jacket, while R-Patz, 26, opted for his customary jeans and cap.

The couple – who appear to have reconciled in the wake of Stewart's cheating scandal with Rupert Sanders earlier this year – were joined at the event by other VIPs, including Minka Kelly and Chris Evans and Katy Perry.

Sanders and wife Liberty Ross, meanwhile, made more of an effort with their costumes when they ventured out for a spot of trick or treating with their two children around their local neighbourhood in Los Angeles.

While Sanders was sporting a bullet wound to the head, Liberty was clad in a tight black catsuit.

On Thursday night Kristen and Robert will appear in a joint interview that will be broadcast on music television channel MTV in the U.S. and on the internet. It will include an exclusive clip from their latest film, Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2.

In recent weeks the couple have made a series of outings together, and appear to have got their relationship back on track.

However, some critics have suggested their reunion is more of a 'showmance' as they prepare to hit the red carpet together later this month for the Los Angeles world premiere of their movie.

It is understood they will appear together at the Hollywood premiere of the film on November 12, before embarking on red carpet appearances around the world.

Keeping their distance: Despite their disguise, the couple stepped apart when they spotted the cameras

An industry source in LA told the Daily Mail: 'This has come as a big surprise. New Line [the film studio behind Twilight] feel that a joint TV appearance will ease the impact on fans of their red carpet debut but not diminish the publicity.

'In recent days Rob and Kristen have really shown their friendship is back on track. They are comfortable around one another and that inspired this brave move.

'Where they go as a couple after this still has to be seen.'
